²⁹ “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune^(A)
    or gloated over the trouble that came to him^(B)—

³⁰ I have not allowed my mouth to sin
    by invoking a curse against their life^(A)—

¹² They repay me evil for good^(A)
    and leave me like one bereaved.
¹³ Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth^(B)
    and humbled myself with fasting.^(C)
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
¹⁴     I went about mourning^(D)
    as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
    as though weeping for my mother.
